It does, if the application uses direct console I/O. It doesn't as

functions.

He also said (see above) "the curses library that gdb is using doesn'=

work". If by "doesn't work" he meant "resizes the screen", then
that's indeed normal, has nothing to do with curses, and is not
"doesn't work" in my book.
